The point of Bret's proposal is not showing interesting example ly code, but rather creating a visual index to the manual. I think it is a good idea, and actually, I've specifically created the "balloon help" feature specifically for this. Is there anyone willing to create a sketch (on paper is fine) of such a monster example? So far, the arguments in favor of the "tip & trick" page have basically been "information is hard to find in the manual," which IMO suggests that we should improve the way how information can be looked up. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
